I don't know how many thousands of e-books I have. Maybe tens of thousands. Maybe too many for the Dewey Decimal System. How do I organize them?

  • ebook-tools

    Shell scripts for organizing and managing ebook collections

    • Then, import into a "Staging" Calibre library that has ebook files ready for metadata retrieval. I use a combination of ebook-tools, Calibre's own automatic metadata tools, and depending on the source of the books I can usually glean some additional information when I grab the files.

  • czkawka

    Multi functional app to find duplicates, empty folders, similar images etc.

    • Remove any duplicates, and compare the new dump against my "production" calibre library. Czkawka is great for this

  • Calibre Web

    :books: Web app for browsing, reading and downloading eBooks stored in a Calibre database

    • Honestly, My only gripes with Calibre at this point are its performance when you have a library at this size. Using the UI is... definitely not ideal. Calibre-Web is pretty much required at that point
